Kona Brewing president Mattson Davis said of the expansion; “Liquid Aloha has officially spread from the Big Island to the Heart of Dixie!

And Alabamans who enjoy camping, fishing, boating and hiking will soon see that Kona goes hand-in-hand with adventurous lifestyles, thanks to the availability of Longboard Lager in cans.”

Craft beer drinkers will find Kona at bars and restaurants throughout Alabama with craft beer offerings, as well as in specialty beer shops, liquor stores and regional grocery store chains.
